If you must be a candle
\nAnd if I must light your wick
\nI will enjoy your flame
\nI will lose my thought in it
\nAnd know only feeling
\nMy heart will beat in tune
\nWith your flame’s dance.<\/p>\n
And when you have finished burning
\nWhen your wick goes out
\nI will plead with Draconis to fashion a mold
\nI will plead with Tiamat for a wick with life
\nI will take your old wax
\nI will ask those you know
\nFor pieces of their wax
\nI will take from myself
\nAs much wax as I can give<\/p>\n
And we will melt it all together
\nWe will hang the wick in the mold
\nWe will pour the wax
\nWe will let the new candle cool
\nAnd we will light it again.<\/p>\n
And we will expect the same of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
